Step 1: Get to Sanding!!!

Alright, so the first step is to take apart the table and chairs as much as possible, this will help you to sand it easier and will also help to have the stain go on more evenly. So, sand down all the grime and worn down stain off of the table and chairs. This hardly took any time at all on mine since it had been outside and the weather had pretty much taken most of the finish off of the table and chairs. You don't necessarily have to get the color all the way off if you are going to stain it a darker color than it already is. I used an electric sander on the top and bottom of the table and a sanding block for the legs and the chairs. After you have it all sanded your ready to move on to the next step!!!
